Turn on KFI640am (lawyers who moved to CA have filed thousands of lawsuits against small companies)

[BurbankKarl]

John and Ken are at a law group in Beverly Hills, where a group of lawyers who moved to CA have filed thousands of lawsuits against small companies after researching minor violations online filed at regulatory organizations...

The Beverly Hills police have been called...

>>>The first President who launches a credible attack on lawyers as economic and family busting terrorists will be on Mount Rushmore.<<<


Who was it that presided when Dan Quayle launched his lawyer attacks over a decade ago?

>>>Now that Daschle is out, President Bush might be able to get some of his reforms through. He really has it IN for trial lawyers.<<<

After the Enron scandal, who in power wouldn't love to see impunity become more commonplace like it already is in the 3rd World.

>>>I called the RNC about this this morning. Mr. Racicot will talk with Karl Rove about this over the weekend to try and push Bush's tort reform measure.<<<


The volunteers at Constituent Services at the RNC get to continue their service there (which they try and parlay into better networking) if they tell callers what callers want to hear. With campaign finance reform, though, the RNC's potential influence is dropping considerably.

It's going to get worse. I know a lot of people (friends, friends of friends, friends of the family) who are completing or have recently completed their bar exam. With all the lawyers running around, they will need more reasons to scoop up a living.

We need to put a restrictive CAP on the legal profession. In this instance we can learn something from Japan.

You have two choices: enact meaningful reforms now, or watch your lawyer buddies load-test ropes with their necks. Which do you want?

>>>A few of these little shops that are the targets of these suits are actually fronts for money laundering for organized crime. They might not take too lightly to being the victims of this kind of extortion. The Mob has a unique way of eliminating nuisances.<<<

If lawyers see fit to stand up to them anyway, how can that be a bad thing?

>>>L.A. has more lawyers than Japan ...<<<

And more swimming pools than the former Soviet Union. Does this mean we should embrace socialism of the USSR, or thug-justice which is all that heavily corrupt Japan offers?

Not if voters decide that protecting corrupted autorepair shops is more important than protecting consumer rights' mercenaries' rights to sue them.

Bush 1 led the charge; you see where it got him & attorney Quayle, don't you?

Are you ready for the gross corruption that Damian Trevor has sued to protect the public from?

In one incident, the shop printed a total in the wrong section of the form; the mechanic crossed it out, initialed the line-out, and put the total in the correct space.

The law firm demanded $5,000 from the shop for this gross breach of the consumer's rights.

In another incident, an auto repair shop had an allegation that they had mispelled the name of the part on a form. That one got a $10,000 demand.

Keep sucking up to the attorneys, ETH...

Mis-prescribed medicines can have detrimental consequences, and fraudulently billed or labeled parts present a line-drawing issue that is best resolved politically. If it can't be then that tells us something.

I'll be charitable and assume that you are a product of the public education system. The name of the part was mispelled. The part in question was not fraudulently billed, it was properly labeled, the mechanic just couldn't spell after 12 years of California's public education system. But, of course, you're going to sue the auto repair shop and not the school district that gave him his high school diploma, because that would be doubleplusungood IngSoc doublethink, Comrade.

I'm all for tuition vouchers, and truth-in-labeling requirements. Why can't such matters be resolved politically? Maybe nobody feels sorry for small businesses that fudge billing receipts almost as much as they fudge auto-diagnoses while boosting what consumers have to pay just to keep driving?

[Poohbah]

OK, just keep sucking up to these jackals.

But don't stand too close to them. One day, there will be a violent overreaction to the damage that lawyers have been doing, and you don't want to be standing next to one when he is tried for crimes against the people by the Not-So-Honorable Judge Lynch Mob.

Trevor and his partners are engaged in a ripoff operation--the company they are allegedly representing is co-located at their mail drop and has no physical office, and they haven't paid a dime to them. But you go right ahead

[End The Hypocrisy]

I will, because I've lived abroad where consumer rights are a joke and I don't want us diluting our own rights just because some lawyers allegedly take it to an extreme even as those complaining peculiarly can't get political support to change the laws to favor them. I'm not saying the Trevor group's right, only that our system's the lesser of evils.
